http://www.nipabooks.com/books/detail/9789380235929.jpgThe book entitled “Applied Computational Biology and Statistics in Biotechnology and Bioinformatics” is aimed to cater to the growing demand of academia, researchers and commercial ventures. Altogether there are forty-four chapters divided into the following broad sections like 1. Bioinformatics, Genomics and Proteomics, 2. Phylogeny 3. Drug Design and Epigenomics 4. Advanced Computational Tools and Techniques 5. Statistical methods for computational biology, data mining and visualization 6. Socio Economics and Ethics. This book presents the foundations of key problems in computational molecular biology and bioinformatics. It contains basic molecular biology concepts, tools, techniques and ways to measure sequence similarity, presents simple applications of searching sequence databases. After introducing methods for aligning multiple biological sequences and genomes, the text explores applications of the phylogenetic tree, methods for comparing phylogenetic trees, the problem of gene expression and motif finding. Interestingly, it is attempted to introduce computational biology without formulas that presents the biological and computational ideas in a relatively simple manner. It focuses on computational and statistical principles applied to genomes, and introduces the computational statistics that are crucial for understanding and visualization of problems. This makes the material accessible to Statistician and computer scientists without biological training, as well as to biologists with limited background in Statistics and computer science. Furthermore, one chapter has been exclusively devoted to computational biology and computational statistics as applied in biotechnology illustrated with methodology, application and interpretation of results. More than four hundred figures, illustrations and diagrams reinforce concepts and present key results from the primary literature that will be very much useful to grasp on the subject, visualize the output and make right interpretation of the result.
The book will be useful for all those working in Biotechnology sector in general and particularly researchers working in the laboratories of ICAR, CSIR, SAU’s and many more institutions engaged R&D activities.

Big data techniques for extracting insight from data arising out of demonetization, digitization and cashless economy initiatives of India

Big data techniques for extracting insight from data arising out of demonetization, digitization and cashless economy initiatives of India Ajit Kumar Roy Central Agricultural University, India The digital economy is rapidly developing worldwide as the largest driver of innovation, competition, and growth. Even though many people have been excluded, tremendous opportunities are available for the digital economy to support financial inclusion for sustainable economic development. India could see a boost of $700 billion, an 11.8% increase by 2025. This additional GDP could create up to 21 million jobs. McKinsey has estimated that Indians lose more than $2 billion a year in forgone income simply because of the time it takes travelling to and from a bank. India aims to create a cleaner, more transparent economy via digitalization that will lead to an improved climate for foreign investment, boost economic growth. Goldman Sachs predicts that India - comprising 15% of the world populat...

Quantitative Assessment of Trend of Water Area Development, Fish Production, Fish Seed Production Over Successive Plan Periods of Nagaland March 2013 Projects:  Fisheries/Aquaculture Econometrics/Statistics Ajit kumar Roy Anil Upadhyay Khriezhato Nakhro                                                          Abstract  A complete account of fisheries resources that includes rivers, lakes, bheels pond and tanks along with Government initiatives for fisheries development are compiled for Nagaland well known for its fish biodiversity. In spite of the available resources, in terms of aquaculture production the state of Nagaland could not make visible impact so far. The meager production of the state is still far from self-sufficient and this can be attributed to a number of constraints such as land locke...

Even today many people think the mystical power of full moon induce erratic behavior, psychiatric, hospital admission, suicide, homicide, sleep pattern, birth of baby, emergency room call, traffic accident and all manners of strange events. The main objective of this review is to find out the effect of full moon on different aspect of human health.

Big Data to check Illegal Fishing

Big Data to Check Illegal Fishing Illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing accounts for a significant amount of over fishing. Each year the global IUU catch has been estimated to be 11–26 million tones that accounts between 7% and 17% of the total global catch. IUU is creating pressure on sustainability of production. If IUU continues there is a risk for food security and livelihoods of millions of people particularly living in coastal region. In such situation, big data application for sustainable fisheries may be useful in solving IUU fishing and over fishing in the open waters through locating vessel’s Automatic identification systems (AIS) that broadcast data on their location and movements. New technologies such as remote sensing and big data application can identify and control several areas of environmental and natural resource management leading to sustainability of renewable. Natural resources.
